Zinedine Zidane, the France manager, has denied the existence of any tension in his relationship with Kylian Mbappé, the France captain and Real Madrid forward.

Arsène Wenger, the former Arsenal manager, has moved closer to withdrawing from the race for the presidency of FIFA, after the chances of him challenging the current president Gianni Infantino in the upcoming elections have receded.

Mark van Bommel, the head coach of Belgium, confirmed that Italy's 3-1 win over France last Thursday was not a surprise to him, pointing to the possibility that the French national team underestimated the abilities of coach Roberto Mancini's side, which contributed to its defeat.

The defeat against Italy was not just a passing stumble in the French national team's calculations, but exposed numerous gaps that have returned doubts to Zinedine Zidane's calculations ahead of the decisive clash against Turkey. Between the return of Kylian Mbappé, the absence of Dayot Upamecano, and the decline in the performance of some key players, the French coach is preparing to rearrange his cards, with the possibility of making wide-ranging changes to the starting line-up in search of a strong reaction that restores prestige to "Les Bleus".
